Hi, I have been a lurker till now, but this baffles me so I thought I would ask, thanks in advance!

I just installed an Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 with the turbo module fans option on my Diamond x1950pro and got some "too good to be true" numbers out of it.

With the stock cooler I measured temps with RivaTuner while running 3dMark06 and got:

- 50-52*C idle
- 75-80*C load

After the install of the S1 and turbo's I get:

- 29*C idle
- 37*C load

I did the tests back to back, the room is about 20*C its in and the numbers just seem way too low. Its in an Antec Sonata 3 case with a noctua 120mm exhaust fan running at 800rpm and an antec tricool set on low speed on the back of the hard drive bays. A/C freezer &pro CPU cooler, Noctua passive chipset cooler To tell you the truth all my temps seem too low:

- CPU= 27*C idle, 38*load with 10 copies of cpu burn running (not the best test, but still)
- HDD0= 25*C, HDD1= 30*C
- System is at 32-37*C only one that seems normal...

Yeah OMGWTF xmas is coming BUT as an added bonus so it my b-day...4 days before xmas to be exact. Sooooo I think it's gonna be a hard christmas for my credit card
This may explain why the lyrics to "disco inferno" is stuck in my head
"Burn baby burn! - Disco inferno!
Burn baby burn! - Burn that mama down"

I can't get it to work, maybe its because I just upgraded to the catalyst 7.1 drivers and it doesn't see them yet? But it says it doesnt have a driver, try rebooting, so I do, then I get the dreaded "vista has shut down your program" BS response I get FAR too often...
